DR.. Graydom, OF Cincinnati, then took the

carried by reclamation, amid whirlwind OF
cheers.
A committee was appointed to escort Foraker

nell. of Springfield was named but declined
because of important business interests which
would suffer. Senator Thomas J. Pringle OF
| Springfield then q < q
| for the place.
! The platform adopted begins with strong
protective tariff plank as follows: We are in
| favor OF a protective tariff to secure to Ameri
| can citizens the privilege of supplying every
| article which can be produced as well in the
| United States as i'll other countries, and sutii
| ciently to supply American wants Such tariff
makes demand for and gives employment to
| the labor of American citizens, and thereby
| aids in securing q just compensation for labor.
| The Ohio Democratic platform, of tariff foI
| revenue only, is strongly denounced.
| The resolutions urge Congress to pass law tC
| protect the United States from the inroads OF
| anarchists, communists, polygamists, fugitives
| from justice, dependent paupers, insane, and
| all others who seek our shores not TO become
| part of our civilization, but who come among
| US to make war upon society. The platform
| says on the labor question, that the condition
| OF men who labor in the North cannot be main
| tanned or improved so long as those who labor
| in the South are wrongfully deprived of the
| rights and powers of American citizenship. A
l
| country Is demanded.
The platform next declares: We have
| placed the war, with its hates and revenges, be
| mind US, but the settlements of the war mus
| stand lrrevocably- respected, honored and oh
| served in every part of the Republic"
such duties on wool as will secure the Ameri
| lean market to American producers are de
| manded local pensions to sailors and soldiers
| adequate appropriations for the improvement O
| the national waterways, and national aid Il
education are favored, and if too much revenue
| be collected to meet the public needs, the frs
| step should be the abolition OF the internal rev
| enue on American-grown tobacco.
| The resolutions further declare that the publi,
/ lands should be sacredly held for the benefit o
| actual settlers. and advocate q proper enforce
ment of the civil service law, and condemns
! the false pretenses of President Cleveland
| administration regarding it." Sympathy for tn,
| efforts to secure home rule for Ireland is eX
| pressed. The action of the President in vetoinl
| pension bills, and the spirit manifested toward
| disabled soldiers Is condemned. His veto OF the
| dependent pension bill is characterized as un
| Just and unmerited.
| Governor Foraker'S administration is warmly
| indorsed and his patriotic declaration that NJ
| rebel flags shall be surrendered while he is Gov
| ernor is specially indorsed
| Regarding the liquor traffic the party pledge.
| Itself to such further legislation as may be
necessary TO keep abreast of enlightened public
| sentiment on the question
| In conclusion, the platform pays a tribute tC
| the unfater1ng loyalty and long services of John
| sherman, whose genius and patriotism are
| Stamped upon the statutes ana constitution OF
| the country, and presents his name to the peo
! pie OF the United States as a candidate for the
| Presidency, assuring them of the hearty and
cordial support of the Ohio Republicans and
| believing his nomination 10 be wise and ju
| diciouS.
